Notes
  • Store brownies in the fridge so they stay firm. They will keep for up to two weeks.
  • If you want to play around with flavours, try adding goji berries, cacao nibs, coconut flakes or even crunchy peant butter instead or (or in addition to ) the chopped almonds.
  • You can add an frosting layer on top of the brownie by mixing some melted coconut oil, cacao and honey.
  • These brownies contain no added sugars (unless you choose to add a bit of honey). The sweetness comes from the natural sugars in the dates. They are also a source of protein and fibre (from the nuts), which should help to keep you full.
  • If you’re looking for a sweet treat in the afternoon or after dinner, these raw chocolate brownies are a great option. Just make sure you stick to one brownie!
